GA.ME NE[iNTS: The annual migration of hunters are coming to the shoresof Beaver in ever increasing numbers. Bow hunters to date have bag-ged a total of eight deer and three turlce,ys.Partridge and woodcock seem to be plentiful but with practically allof the foliage still intact, clear shots a,re rather rare. Huntersseem well satisfied with the count, however.With the tremendous amount of rain we have ha,d the past two or threemonths, the waterfowl have literally, an unlimited number of pot holesand ponds in which to sit. Goose hunting has t}een re-opened to theIsland area and t'ne Island malces an ideal stopping off place for thes¥r-`,big honkers, on their wa.y south, especially when the wind blows fromthe south or bad weather sets in.Next month, at this time, the regular deer season will be in fullswing. Most of the accommodations are full and the Beaver Islanderwill be carrying full loads for the first week of the season. Badwea,ther shortened last year's season so hopes are rurming high thatthis year, the season will be an especially good one.
